72-hours Tokyo Metro Pass from Narita to Asakusa

score:5

Accepted answer

These passes do not cover the suburban trains to the airport.

It's confusing, but in Tokyo many metro services are transformed into suburban trains at the official termini and continue into the suburbs, but the passes only cover the section where the service is actually classified as a metro.

Narita and Haneda are both outside these sections, so you would need to buy a ticket for the non-metro section. If coming from Narita, that is Narita to Oshiage, and if coming from Haneda, that is Haneda to Sengakuji. Then board your train, get off at Asakusa normally, and show both the pass and Narita-Oshiage or Haneda-Sengakuji ticket to any station staff, so they can help you get out.

All your options for Narita are pretty well laid out here: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2027.html

NOTE that the JR Sobu line seems cheap, but don't travel on it during busy times with your luggage. There's no real provisions for luggage. You may want to consider mailing your luggage to your hotel as well. It's pretty cheap to do so in Japan and you'll save yourself a lot of trouble.
